So as I was surfing the US Presidential candidates websites late Monday night, looking for ideas for online ADHD advocacy from my last post, I wondered how many pages Barack Obama’s website had in Google’s index vs John McCain’s. So I did a site search site:www.barackobama.com etc. to find out. Wow.
Obama Vs. McCain Search Engine and Social Media Showdown
Tomi has written a great deal on the mobile implications of Obama's campaign, this post aggregates the Internet contribution
As previously mentioned, Barack Obama had nearly 6,000 percent more pages on his main website than John McCain did on his, 1,820,000 vs 30,700. He’s got more and deeper links, more hits for his name in Google, McCain beats him significantly in Google News though by 173%. There’s almost 3 times as many results for Barack Obama in Google images and 51% more hits in Google Video as there is for John McCain.
Obama has more search engine results in both blog search engines, google and technorati and in in wordpress.com a site with 4,592,973 blogs where users create blogs for free and host them there. This blog uses Wordpress, the standalone version. Keep in mind that more search engine results or user generated social media does not always mean that the results are positive of the candidate, many are negative of both. The political blogosphere can be a brutal place. But as a politician, being ignored is the worst thing. Getting no attention won’t get you elected. Plus bloggers are often creating content and commenting in other social media sites beyond their individual blog. Bloggers will become even more important and courted in the future by political campaigns.
Politics will never be the same again. More here Communities Dominate Politics!
Tomi perhaps we should have an Obama category?
Hi Alan
Great idea, I added Obama as a category and quickly re-indexed a couple of the recent Obama postings including this one of yours. If you want to go back through your recent month or two and see what other Obama postings you want to re-index to it, please do so.
Tomi :-)
